Note:
Fix a crash bug when modperl was loaded on some arches
PERL_SYS_INIT3 was added to modperl in r1155-1158 to fix modperl on arches like
hppa. This added an invalid cast which caused a segfault.
If you have:
const char *pArgv[];
Then pArgv will point to the same memory location as &pArgv. This pointer was
then casted to (char ***) which is one level of pointers too much for this
pointer.
Thanks to an anonymous reporter who pointed out the crash.
Thanks to pippijin for helping me understand the C++ magic.
